Malcolm and Denise looked for the idol, and after looking almost all over the rice container, Malcolm found it and kept it. Obviously Denise knows about it, but they got split up.

Jeff gave them a bag, Malcolm pulled out a yellow buff and joined Tandang, while Denise pulled out a red buff and joined Kalabaw.

The Reward Challenge had them playing this weird game of knocking off the other person's statue in their hand before they knock off yours. Tandang won, but not before both Malcolm and Denise scored a point each for their new tribes. It was first to 5.

Jonathan says he likes Denise, but Kalabaw is now at a physical disadvantage to Tandang.

At the Tandang camp, everyone wants Malcolm! Pete even told him that he and Abi have an idol and not to go with RC and Skupin because he used to be with them but he doesn't trust them anymore. He feels like he's in a good position, especially with an idol of his own.

Meanwhile, at Kalabaw, Katie wants to get Denise on her side and add to the female alliance. But Dana starts feeling very sick and is throwing up. The Medical Team comes and says we can try to test her and let her continue for another 12 hours and see if she improves. Jeff tells Dana that Medical only pulls someone from the game if their life is in danger, and the option to stay is up to her.

Dana decides to pull herself from the game because she was in too much pain. She's gone, but she won't be the only person exiting the game today.

We had an IC, and throughout the IC, Jeff's only commentary was 'Kalabaw still behind because of Katie at the first part of the challenge' and 'Abi-Maria sitting out of a challenge yet again'... ANyway, Kalabaw made an awesome comeback at the puzzle, but Tandang held on to win by a mere second or so.

So Kalabaw will head to their first ever Tribal now, and Tandang will have the 7-5 advantage after this episode.

The men of Kalabaw get Denise on board as their fourth, and are discussing whether to vote out Katie or Dawson, believing that Katie was the weak link today, but Dawson has been weaker in the past.

Meanwhile, Dawson - who knows who Jeff is - is having fun messing with him, talking about how football players are better than baseball players, and how she thinks baseball is just a bunch of guys standing around waiting. Jeff looks very irritated!

At Tribal Council, Dawson goes home, casting one vote for Denise. She gives Jeff (Probst) the biggest hug after her torch is snuffed.

In her confessional after going home, Dawson says Jeff Kent owes her big time for not blowing his cover, and if he wins, she wants a motorcycle, a helmet, a sidecar and a pink gun from him!

The preview for the next episode makes me think the merge is not coming yet...
